Two years ago, I crashed a lot of planes when I was learning to fly but the past year maybe only 4 crashes (out of hundreds of flights) so my hangar has ballooned to a point where I need to trim about 5-10 planes out. Lol

Its a nice looking plane that arrived nicely (mostly) preassembled except for one major quality control issue so far

When the wings are attached the left and right sides are not level because the north/top hole on the right side was drilled 15mm too low. The right side twists upwards as the left side has both carbon rod support holes drilled level but on the right they are not. I doubt this jet will fly straight at all. I will have to drill another hole myself or not use the top carbon rod.

Having bought 20+ planes over the past 3 months and learning to fly... there have been a good share of ups and downs. I love the Eflite UMXes even though they are overpriced and the SkyAngel jets were a blast while they lasted.

However, the worst plane to own by far has been the FMS mini F6F Hellcat. I've owned numerous planes from Banana Hobby, but if I could give this a negative rating I would. Why?

- Extremely tail heavy unless you add tons of nose weight.
- Extra weight just adds to the high wind load.
- Fragile (easily bendable) motor shaft which are not easy to replace.
- Hard to find original motor (replace this immediately with something else)
- Brittle 3-blade propeller. They break if you breathe on them.
- 3-blade prop out of stock everywhere except PW-RC for $5 a piece.
- 20A ESC is underpowered for this plane.
- Parts (spinner, prop, etc.) are difficult to source.

The positive? It looks real nice...

My Parkzone T28D is a frankenstein of parts. It's taken crashes ten times worse than the FMS mini and survived. The mini touches a curb and fractures... argh.

I about to trash this piece of junk since I got an used Eflite Hawker Seafury.

I95 to Okeechobee Road (Fort Pierce)
West on Okeechobee Road (past the County Fairgrounds)
South on Carlton Road (also known as State Hwy 613 South)
Turn west onto Germany Canal Road.
After 3 turns, the field entrance is a farm gate.
Dirty road leads to the field area.
